Some Veterans are admitted to the hospital with nothing-- not even a toothbrush.
Others are there for so long they begin to run out of products they brought with
them. Maybe you have some new, unused items you would be willing to share to
help them.

needed items. We are proud to announce OAVN'S COUPON PROJECT.
